Why Homelessness in Japan is Very Different from Other Countries #shorts

Alcohol isnt a drug?
Gambling addiction prays on the high you get from winning, or atleast thinking you could win.

I would never go to Japan, fact for me

Most homeless in Japan are male, ok, and how is this different from the rest of the world?

Also backfiring, or what the average woman expects of the average man?

Jesus can't you people ever just share some facts without some bias agenda stuck up your arse?!

10,000? Wow you'll find that many driving 5 mins in Delhi (Capital of India supposedly) forget about other places. So yeah Japan barely has homelessness

Wtf…japan doesn’t have culture of giving like Christian and Muslim countries who start all the wars lol…girl is a damn fool 😂

玉姫じゃん

Japan doesn't have a culture of giving because the Japanese have pride in not begging others. Hence, there is no one to give. I simply wonder why other “giving” countries face much more severe homeless crises with the “giving” culture. Japanese homeless often work. Maybe most of the earnings are spent on gambling and alcohol, but they are not beggars. It proves that the hypocritical “giving” doesn't solve problems.

What about homeless in Algeria that really interests me can you do a video on that please

wow i thought there was 0 homeless people in Japan

Full of BS! You're beautifying Japan's homelessness. There are also young homeless people in Japan if you look a bit harder.

Nice thanks. Been to Japan a few times and of course like most people I love it but Japan must open their minds and immigration rules to good foreigners.

China is way ahead of both Japan and USA in this regard. No homeless issue in China.

Point to note: Self-reliance in Japan is a national value/identity issue, not a religious one. Japan is majority Buddhist/Shinto, and charity is a huge part of Buddhism

That's very sad...

And women will say there living in a patriarchies but then they’ll get government housing which men don’t get and they government does this so women value men less in return making them more disrespectful and making men more angry

So Japanese people are just letting there grandpas sit on the road and be homeless your telling me where not in a dystopia

Only 10,000 homeless people? Really? That's not bad, actually.

You know whenever I'm speed scrolling yt shorts and i notice i skipped past a post from your channel i immediately go back and watch like ans comment ❤

The rates are similar everywhere. Men are at higher risk for homelessness (and suicide, and drug addiction, and violent aggressions....)

Charity increases inequality.

Looking around at the poor in Christian, Muslim and Hindu countries, I'd say Japan is better off without those faiths.

Only 10000 r u sure.

Really well done explanation. Thank you. from Detroit.

you know nothing about japan .
in the 1990s The number of homeless people was nearly 25,000-30,000, but by 2010-11 it had dropped to 10,000.....Now there are 3000 or 4,000. . you worry about your visa marrage .. lol

Thank you...I had no idea about Japan's homeless...I had no idea they have public assistance in Japan...I guess I never thought about it.

Do you think the Japanese prefer to seppuku over homelessness? I hear they sadly have a high rate of self harm and this video seems to prove that homelessness is not an option. Perhaps more accomodations to homeless people and rehab centers(although narcs are less of an issue, alcohol is a drug and burnout is real) would save lives.
Sometimes people go through hard times and need a break. Imagine how hard it is to find a job when you don't have a home and can't take showers. That's why they need help.

Japanese hindu not christians

Food and housing is cheap in Japan. There’s no need to be homeless and you can dine out on the cheap

This breaks my heart. The fact that most of them are elderly is so sad. It’s not like they can work to try to get enough money for a house. I don’t know how much of this is actually true, but seeing these elderly people trying their best to enjoy their lives despite their situation, breaks my heart more than some of the people we see here.

When machismo back fires

Tons of homeless. Look up tohoko kids

"narcotics are difficult to buy" is an insane thing to say about a country where you can buy LSD on Amazon

God bless them

I’m moved to Arizona from Chicago there’s only about 10,000 homeless drug addicts out here in Phoenix

You become homeress, dis very dishonorabral

It's because they follow Buddha

The explanation of number 3 is very wrong. Homeless women are in great danger of being harassed, raped, beaten, and killed by homless men so women cannot stand the life on the street even if they want to. This is also why the gov is applying the different approach regarding homeless women by providing temporary shelters

They don't have money, except for alcohol and gambling.

There's no mention of internet cafe refugees,which are i essence, homeless

In one video there are hardly any young ablebodied homeless people in japan, but 2 videos over, theres a place in Tokyo where most are young and are being exploited. Which is it?

Hi,
I lived and worked in Japan for four years. I believe that there are many more than 10,000 homeless in Japan. They are hidden all over Japan in large, mid-sized and small cities. I bumped into a homeless ex- 'Salary man' (businessman) in a suit at the train station near my town and was able to help him. Some them are ex-cons whose families have disowned them. Some are women running from abuse and the list goes on.
Also, there are drugs in Japan. However, if you get caught selling them. I believe that the penalties are severe.

Those poor men

10.000 are the known ones, maybe. Im sure the numbers are higher than what they say.. Not so different from other countries 😢

We were eating lunch in the park in Kyoto and a guy was picking up cigarette butts.
He reached under our bench so I shouted at him.
Then I pffered him money for a pack of cigarettes and he explained that he wasn't picking them up to smoke but he was cleaning the park x

Judaism also has a tradition of giving. I’m fact they’re commanded to do so. It’s called “doing a mitzvsh,” supposed to be done anonymously. Wonder why you excluded their tradition?

Not fair

They don't care about elderly

Its a $5 trillion dollar economy.
In other words not enough wealth is being distributed evenly to all sectors including the homeless sector — its cheaper for the rich this way

That's awesome it should be that way all over the world 🌍
